Abstract
HIV testing is a necessary step for uptake of HIV prevention and treatment services. Since 2008 there have been large scale initiatives to intensify access to and uptake of HIV testing among untested populations at risk through provider-initiated HIV testing and counselling (PITC)1, community-based approaches2 and partner notification3, with Sub-Saharan Africa, the region worst affected by the HIV epidemic4, being most critically in need of these initiatives. As for other health interventions5,6 however, inequalities in uptake of HIV testing have been recorded7, and they may persist despite intensification of HIV testing efforts and treatment scale-up8.
